Senor Cortez
Has a patchy record but he turned things around with an 5l win over 1m6f at Southwell (AW; 7-4 favourite) last Sunday; looks well treated under a penalty for that success and his penultimate win was at this track; strong contender.

Expressionless
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and he was beaten 8l after a slow start at Newbury last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but he needs to raise his game back up in trip.

Percy Jones
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached.

Crackergee
Made the breakthrough at the 12th attempt when justifying support at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month; 4lb higher in different conditions here but he pulled well clear with the runner-up last time and his best form has come on Polytrack; respected back up in trip.

Educator
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip.

Naasma
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track.

Big Bear Hug
Her first four wins were on turf but she made the breakthrough on AW when finishing well to land an apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f) last Wednesday; now steps back up in trip but she beat an odds-on rival last time and escapes a penalty for that success; dangerous.

Love Is Golden
Well treated on his old form for the Johnstons but he returned after a mammoth absence last month and has been tailed off at big prices in both runs (1m4f/2m) for current yard; lots to prove.

Mister Daydream
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; has had some struggles since but he got back to form with a bang when winning by 7l here (1m4f, AW) last Monday; that was off a tumbling mark and he's a major player if he can repeat that form under a penalty.

Further Measure
Nine of his ten wins have come on AW and he's a strong stayer at up to 2m; his last win was off this mark at Kempton in February but he flopped at that track last month and needs to bounce back.
